The first Hebrew book in Padua - first edition - Derech Emunah, Padua, 1563

Ancient Kabbalistic work by Rabbi Meir ben Gabai, author of Avodat Hakodesh. 

The work contains an elucidation on the structure of the ten Sefirot in the format of a response to the ten questions of a student. 


Rabbi Meir was born in Spain in 1480. After the expulsion, settled in Turkey. Authored three Kabbalistic books, the major one being Avodat Hakodesh which is apparently, the most comprehensive work on Kabbalah that preceded the Kabbalists of Safed.
